    General anesthesia usually is used during surgery.

    After a laparoscopy, you can resume normal activities within a day. But you should avoid strenuous activity or exercise for about a week.

    After a laparotomy, you may stay in the hospital from 2 to 4 days and return to your usual activities in 4 to 6 weeks.
